The Lookout- *** out of ****- surprisingly good thriller with rising star Joseph Gordon Levitt. I was pretty impressed with this flick on all levels and the ending is pretty intense. I enjoyed it.

On the to watch list: Fracture, Disturbia and tomorrow: SUPERBAD!

"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"

Watched Disturbia last night. At first I thought it was just okay, but the more I thought about it, I began to like it; so I'll say it was good. It wasn't quite what I was expecting; I was expecting more suspense and thrills throughout the movie but they were actually few and far between (for the most part), with exception to the ending. It was still good nonetheless, and I'm kind of glad that they didn't try to constantly startle or seek thrills from the audience; it probably would have turned out to be a terrible movie. Instead, the movie built up the characters and plot and built the tension that would soon erupt towards the end of the film; this it accomplished, very well might I add. Shia LeBeouf did a great job, as did Sarah Roemer (Ashley). Never heard of her before and not sure what else she was been in (IMDB isn't functioning correctly right now) but I believe this was the first thing that I have seen her in. Anyways, she did a good job and has a very interesting look about her, hot. I love David Morse and he did a good job as well; playing the creepy and mysterious neighbor.

But yea, I really enjoyed this movie, especially the more I thought about it. Evidently it is a modern Rear Window, which I for some reason haven't seen yet (and my brother has just about all of the Hitchcock movies) so I'm eager to take that one down and do a little comparison; and I have no doubts that Hitchcock's Rear Window will be the better film (much better, probably). I mean, come on, it's Hitchcock!!!.. and it's #13 on IMDB's Top 250.

"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."

I gotta agree with you UK; I really enjoyed "Disturbia." I had my doubts coming into it, but it's a good psuedo version of "Rear Window." It has a good deal of suspense, likeable characters and (as I said in my blog), an uber greasy and evil David Morse. It was high on the suspense and easy on the gore, which was nice for once. *** out of ****

"Superbad"- Check out my brief blip in the thread. To recap though: I laughed, hard, and a lot. ***1/2 out of ****

"Fracture"- I had some hopes for this one and Hopkins delivers, but Gosling is so wound up playing a seemingly schmuck pouty lawyer with an annoying southern accent. It was hard for root for him and I was actually more interested in Hopkins. ** out of ****
